A city’s gate becomes the docking port for the imagination. You wander into a world where horse drawn carriages stampede through streets filled with merchants scurrying around with barrels and baskets, as others stand in clusters displaying their ware and bartering. Set apart by their attire, gentlemen in top hats and ladies wearing long, bustled skirts and bonnets, walk proudly in tight, stiff collars, into architecture of a bygone time. Quaint, steep pitched roofs with overhangs and dormers allow the romanticism of ‘Merrie Olde England’ to engulf you. Epic in scale, this prestige vase can only be described as enchanting, with elegant black and white timber façades holding curiosities around every corner of this Hilditch masterpiece of Moorcroft design and tubelining. 

Prestige designs are amongst the most sought after pieces to emerge from Moorcroft’s kilns, and have been ever since the first pieces were made over a century ago.  They are often pieces not only prestigious in size, but often with highly intricate, complex and captivating design subject matter.  Due to the very nature of their size, which can be up to almost 70cms in height, it can take many weeks for a single piece to be made from start to finish.
